Their official name is the Richmond County Tea Party Patriots -- and they arguably put Congressman Michael Grimm (R-NY) in office twice, first in 2010 when Tea Party supported this U.S. Marine veteran for the U.S. House, and again in 2012. Grimm won the 2010 general election for his district which covers both parts of New York City's Staten Island and Brooklyn with 51 percent of the vote. Ron Devito also created a video of the entire collection of speeches. It can be seen on YouTube.

I say, let EVERY federal official from the President on down should have to rely on dialing 911 and waiting for the police to show up before they tell us what we “need” to defend ourselves against an increasingly lawless population.

So, another one takes the “for the common good” bait.

They’re simply not to be trusted.

I have a deep cynicism of NY and its ability to correct this situation...

Until this is corrected, i.e.: the removal of Coumo and this Grimm guy is just the start, but a good one...Reversing that tyrannical law these guys just passed on the citizens of NY, that would be another good start...

Bloombergs day is coming...

But like I’ve said in the past, “NY, you made this bed, now you get to lay in it...”

You have a lot to prove other than just griping about how bad it is...If you made a mistake, then I can dig it...Prove to us you can correct it by showing this slime the door in 2014...

I will not hold my breath...
